troll: someone you dislike, fear or do not comprehend...11b guide
When the doorbell rings, it's just a request. You are not a dog, it is not a command, only a request. You are not in church, you are at home. No guilt.

I bought the Nexus 7 - 16gb version from Staples a week ago. I paid the $259 price point. I'm wondering if anyone here knows if I can take the receipt back to Staples and get them to Price Protect to the Google Play Store (will them PM the Google Play Store..???)

Shouldn't this be moved to Computers and Electronics vs Cell Phones? OP please verify.

Come on, slapped? You are buying technology, price goes down immediately after you buy it. Laggards in the bell stats curve usually pay a heavy price more than early adopters. Just think about it.

There should be a certain lifespan to products. Given it came out around 4 months ago, you'd hope the product holds it's value for at least half a year. To buy a product and then turn around and have it drop in price is terrible. This is bad practice. You can do a price drop if your product doesn't sell well (to stimulate sales) -- the company then has no choice. To do this tactic otherwise is bad for resale value and perceived cost of a product. I have to favour Apple in pricing in this matter (except for the iPad 3). They keep their prices/products consistent for a year and the next refresh of the product stays at the same price. This perceived cost helps the customer make informed purchases. Paying less is better but the price should have been $209 to begin with then -- don't screw early adopters over like this (we're not talking a significant amount of time here).

- Don't support hoarding. Do your research, decide on the price you want to pay for it. Don't ever pay more than that.
